History Characters / Starfield

* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Or mom, in an atypical case. The big marriage-killer between Cora's parents Sam and Lillian Hart was her being MarriedToTheJob as a Freestar Ranger and neglecting being there for Cora. Sam ''was''. After having to clean up the fallout from one incident of emotional neglect too many, Sam divorced Lillian, quit the Rangers himself, and became a single dad.

* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:He tracked the Legacy across the galaxy from a prison rumor, not only eventually finding it in a radiation envelope that made the search impossible for Galbank, but fighting his way through dozens of robots to get to the treasure. Solo. Without anything like the technological help the player has a century later.]]

* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: Surprisingly, not Kryx's Legacy, which he left no intentional map for. [[spoiler:Because it was a stranded ship and he died on it. He was however recording himself with an eye to a what he hopes is a future pirate finding him. And although it's in an understandable rant, he does indeed provide a way for the person who finds his body to loot the credits he could not.]]

* WorthlessYellowRocks: [[spoiler:He ultimatley made it as far as the vault of the Legacy. But unable to repair his ship he could neither extract the millions of credits nor find anything to eat. He eventually starved to death looking at the credit tanks.]]

[[folder:Delgado]]
!!Delgado
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Steve Wilcox

The current leader of the Crimson Fleet, Delgado is a shrewd leader who balances between keeping a tight leash on his followers and giving them room to plague the Settled Systems.

[[folder:Jasper Kryx]]
!!Jasper Kryx
!!!'''Voiced by:''' William Holmes

The long-dead, near-mythical founder of the Crimson Fleet and the origin of the term "Kryx's Legacy."

* Determinator: [[spoiler:He tracked the Legacy across the galaxy from a prison rumor, not only eventually finding it in a radiation envelope that made the search impossible for Galbank, but fighting his way through dozens of robots to get to the treasure. Solo. Without anything like the technological help the player has a century later.]]
* TheDreaded: Warrented special attention and handling even in the supermax prison of The Lock. The dozens of murder and attempted murder charges that are only part of his rapsheet are likely responsible. Later when he's free, he does an interview with SSNN which he caps off with an on-air threat across the Settled Systems that he'll slaughter the reporter if she manipulates the tape.
* PosthumousCharacter: Vanished and presumed dead for many decades (he was middle-aged a century before the present day of the game), he was quite fond of recordings.
* VisionaryVillian: Kryx rejects the idea that criminals need to run and hide. His escape attempt focused on getting the armory to seize The Lock and The Key rather than making a run for it, and his vision of the Crimson Fleet was a state-level criminal power.
* WorthlessYellowRocks: [[spoiler:He ultimatley made it as far as the vault of the Legacy. But unable to repair his ship he could neither extract the millions of credits nor find anything to eat. He eventually starved to death looking at the credit tanks.]]

* BigBad: They -- the Hunter and Emissary in particular -- serve as the primary antagonists of the game's main questline, serving as the main force impeding Constellation's research into the Artifacts.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The Hunter insists they are just a dishonest and more manipulative type of Hunter and a would-be tyrant. He knows them best - but they also are in eons-long opposition over the Artifacts so he doesn't like them and wants to win. If the player sides with the Emissary [[spoiler:the Emissary is entirely above-board, providing useful information and support and adopting a more benevolent interaction with humanity after the player ascends to Starborn.]] There's also the fact that the Emissary ''hasn't'' met the player before in this context because [[spoiler:the player always dies in these universes]] so they may indeed be more confused than cunning.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The "Kid Stuff" trait does not syncretize with all backstory traits. They show no indication of sharing your potential religious beliefs, even though the traits in question describe you as having been raised under said beliefs. They have also been living in the United Colonies' capital city since you were a child even if you chose the "Neon Street Rat" or "Freestar Settler" traits, though they will mention having lived in several different places with you before they settled down.

* UnusableEnemyEquipment: While generally averted - as the player can obtain 'almost' all suits through repeated NG+ playthroughs - two Starborn encountered at the final temple, Guardian Athaliah and Guardian Fionn, wear special versions of the Tempus suit with brown cloaks, completely unobtainable by the player.

* UnobtainableEnemyEquipment: While generally averted - as the player can obtain 'almost' all suits through repeated NG+ playthroughs - two Starborn encountered at the final temple, Guardian Athaliah and Guardian Fionn, wear special versions of the Tempus suit with brown cloaks, completely unobtainable by the player.

CEO of Xenofresh Fisheries and de facto ruler of Neon, giving him a seat on the Collective's Council of Governors. As administrator of the city, he controls all commerce and security on the planet, allowing only a minimal presence from the Freestar Collective's other security and administrative organizations.

* CloningBlues: The Crucible's inhabitants are fully aware they're clones of famous historical figures from Earth, and almost all of them struggle with this knowledge one way or another.

* TheStarscream: Alludes to Mei -- right to her face -- that there may come a time when she and the rest of her mercenaries take over the Red Mile, to which Mei responds by pointing out that she has "friends in high places" and that Stocker could easily be replaced with somebody else.

!!Paradiso

[[folder:In General]]
A luxury hotel on the privately owned planet of Porrima II, Paradiso offers tourists from all across the Settled Systems the perfect beach vacation free from government oversight. They've recently hit a bit of snag after a massive unidentified spaceship appeared in orbit.

* CapitalismIsBad: Paradiso's administration only cares about their bottom line. While the hotel's guests and executives live in luxury, the staff are housed in what's essentially a third-world slum off the beach. When faced with the whole ESC ''Constant'' situation, the board's first reaction is to complain about how it's impacting their profits, followed by proposing to [[spoiler:1) turn the ship's innocent crew into slaves to "earn" the right to live on the planet, or 2) [[MurderIsTheBestSolution blow up the ship]].]]
* CompanyTown: The settlement of Paradiso consists of nothing but the hotel tower and its surrounding infrastructure, all owned by one company.
* KarmaHoudini: Sadly, there's no meaningful way to side against this sociopathic company during the "First Contact" quest. The most you can do is deny them a source of free labor through [[spoiler:either [[MurderIsTheBestSolution killing the]] {{Generation Ship}}'s inhabitants, or providing them with the necessary credits to get a [[FasterThanLightTravel Grav drive]] & [[BittersweetEnding journey to a new home elsewhere]]]], but regardless of your decision, the ESC ''Constant'' ultimately gets the short end of the stick.

!!The Crucible

* RoboSpeak: Vasco has a distinct speech pattern reminiscent of a text-to-speech system. His monotone, stilted speech and habit of Main/SpockSpeak contributes to his unique personality.

A resident of New Atlantis, the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Adoring Fan]] is one of the various companions of the Player Character, and [[Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a very big fan of us]], at that.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: [[spoiler:If the player sides against him and vows revenge for their dead companion prior to the final fight,he takes a moment to figure out what the PC is mad about. Then he laughs.]]

* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:In NewGamePlus, you'll run into different variants of the Constellation crew members of whatever universe you migrate into...assuming they aren't [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse missing]] or [[KilledOffForReal dead]].]]
